<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 2826884, member: 6444"]It was probably almost new when you bought it. Similar paint scheme and design, with same eagle decal and writing, described in Worthpoint as "Colony Rocker by Lock 1776 made expressly for Montgomery Ward (usually printed on the metal plane on back of seat but this rocker no longer has the plate). Made in 1972." If that is reliable information, I assume yours is also made by "Lock 1776" (they started in the 60's), and from the same time period, sold as part of the bicentennial fever, if not for Monty Ward anniversary: <a href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1972-vintage-colony-rocker-lock-1776-1886706061" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1972-vintage-colony-rocker-lock-1776-1886706061" rel="nofollow">https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1972-vintage-colony-rocker-lock-1776-1886706061</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There isn't much demand for these remakes of 19th century Windsors, though yours is in good shape.
